Habits of N Gull,

Mr.. William Brewster notes some in

Kittiwake gull of the st. Lawrence. lie
brought home young one, its mate hav-
ing died of thirst, the other one surviving
through the accidental discovery that the
bird drank only salt water! Both the
birds obstinately refused to drink fresh
water. Observations on this bird by
Professor A. Hyatt showed how slowly
and timidly it acquired the art of swim
ming and flying. The bird when first
forced to fly was thrown into the air,
and, to the surprise Of Professor Hyatt,
flew with great rapidity and precision,
circling about the house and through the
apple trees, and, finally, flew near him
several times in the greatest agitation till
he caught the bird, which was completely
exhausted. For a long time the bird
went through this maneuver, showing
that while il knew how TO fly it could
not alight, though it finally acquired this
faculty.-Professor E. S. Morse in Pop

THE inference which has been most
commonly drawn from the falling Off
Of the Labor party vote in New York
this year IS compared with last year
Il that the Labor vote in New York Is
q diminishing quantity which reach.
cd Its highest level last year. This Is
view which does not go unquestion.
cd within the ranks of the labor par.
ty itself. and explanations are given
In some quarters which go TO show
that the division Of the labor vote was
due to associations and entanglements
which can be avoided at the next ele,-
tion. For exemple, 1t Is suggested TO
ne, by o gentleman prominently iden-
tiled with the labor movement In
New York, that leaving the Progress.
sive Labor party out of account, the
decline In the labor vote may be traced
TO dissatis action on the part OF
thousands of German voters with the
land plank IN the platform of tn
United Labor party, and to ar, vo I
from Georges leadership on the part
Of large numbers of other working
men, owing to his attacks on an sccles.
iAstical system which they regarded
with venerstion. His attitude in re-
lation TO the anarchist executions al.
80 alienated q considerable number of
voters who might otherwise have cast
their ballots for the candidate of the
United Labor party. The aniagon-
isms aroused by the chief candidate
sfthe party have, II is suggested, han.
dicapped it In the elections, and the
real lesson to be drawn from their re.
sult as regards the labor party is that
henceforward George is an unavailable
candidate. The needs of the party
for the future, 1t is further suggested,
are the subordination and modifica-
tion of the land plank and the substi'
tuition of another standard bearer in
the place Of Mr.. George. These are
interesting views and no doubt they
willlexcite attention. n.-Bradstreet

Peppermint OIL, Where It Is Grown. How

Peppermint OIL. Where 1t Is Grown. How
Distilled and whittier Shipped.
"The specuIators are al work again"
said wholesale druggist when shown
dispatch from Lyons y. Y. stating that
there are over 200, 900 pounds of pepper
mint oil in Wayne county, and in conse-
quence the price is lower than at any
time in the past thirty years.
Peppermint is small crop compared
with wheat or corn. he continued. ''and
it is grown on a small territory. Wayne
county, in this state, producing nearly all
the peppermint oil that is used in the
world. These facts make il tempting
field for speculation.
''How do the SPECTATORS operate:"
They begin just as that dIspath indi-
Gates: first. 10y saying that there is large
quantity Of oil held over from last year,
which is not true; then they oyerstate the
amount ON hand, and finally they clinch
the matter by SAYING that only 81. 80 a
pound is offered. That price may lie
offered, but the farmers who produce the
oll are too sharp 10 sell at less than 81. 50
a pound. and they will hold il and beat
the speculators at their own game"
why is not more Of il raised!"
''Ihe mint requires peculiar soil and
special care is needed both in the raising
OF the plant and the distilling Of the oil.
The crop Is grown on land that is moist
and has rich, sandy loam. The mint is
planted in burrows thirty inches apart,
and while growing requires great deal
OF cultivation, as every weed has 10 be
kept out. Otherwise the oil would not be
good. When full grown and in bloom it
is cut with scythe and hauled to the
still as soon as il is wilted.
Large steam tubs with tightly fitting
covers are used TO hold the mint. which
ID tramped down thoroughly. The steam
is turned on at the bottom, and, passing
upward through the mass of mint, vapor-
izes the oil and carries it out through a
pipe at the top. This pipe carries the
stesm and oil into spiral worm or cooler
surrounded by cold water. Here the
steam is condensed into water and the oil
settles ON top Of it, Both now pass to Q
receiving tank, which has an overflow
pipe running from the bottom up nearly
TO a level with the top. The object Of
this is TO draw of the water from the
bottom and leave the oil to be dipped
from the top. The oil is as clear in color
20 the best kerosene. II is packed in tin
cans Tor shipment and Is sent all over the
United States, and considerable Of il goes
abroad. ~

''Yes, Germany produces a little, but
we send more TO Germany than Germany

and France, but Russia and Austria a.

fectionery. Peppermint lozengers are
